Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wigan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What else we do in Mossy Lea
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
