How to compare quotes

Sink repair at your home in Middleton

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Middleton questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Middleton?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you cover Middleton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Middleton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace in Middleton?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
