About our sink repair in Offerton
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Offerton questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Offerton. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlord and trade work in Offerton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
