Sink & basin repair in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Old Trafford, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repair or replace in Old Trafford?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Old Trafford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Questions from Old Trafford
Are there extra charges for Old Trafford?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Greater Manchester. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
