Sink repair near Northwich

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Northwich

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Repairing versus replacing in Northwich

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Northwich. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our pricing.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What affects the price in Northwich

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Northwich questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
