Your questions about sink repair in New Islington

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater Manchester.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace in New Islington?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

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.

Do you need sink repair in New Islington?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An antique basin with chips
