Sink repair for Moss Side homes

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Moss Side

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crack near the taps
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

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.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Common questions in Moss Side

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Moss Side and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
