Sink repair at your home in Mottram in Longdendale
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
