Sink repair at your home in Middleton

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a crazed, tired basin and an original basin worth saving, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Common questions in Middleton

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Common problems we fix in Middleton

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Middleton

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Middleton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
