- Repairs from £95

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

More services for Moston
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Questions from Moston
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Common problems we fix in Moston
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
