Sink repair at your home in Milnrow
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rochdale.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about sink repair in Milnrow
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Milnrow?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need sink repair in Milnrow?

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
