DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Middleton One Row
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

Your questions about sink repair in Middleton One Row
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Middleton One Row
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Middleton One Row
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Middleton One Row. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
