Midgley: your questions answered
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
If you are in Midgley and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Do you need sink repair in Midgley?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
