How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Nordens, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall.

When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Nordens, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Nordens: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Oldham?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
