Sink repair at your home in Moorside
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need sink repair in Moorside?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlord and trade work in Moorside
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Moorside: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Moorside?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Moorside for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
