About our sink repair in Millbrook
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

FAQs for Millbrook
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

About Millbrook
Millbrook is about 1 mile north-east of Stalybridge, in Tameside. We visit customers in Millbrook and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. We work in all 32 towns and villages across Tameside, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Manchester, about 8 miles away.
Jobs in SK15 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on Elms Road, Grove Road and Besom Lane or a nearby road, a technician can come to you.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Millbrook
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Millbrook. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SK15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
