Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ordsall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Ordsall
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Common reasons people in Ordsall contact us include:
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
What to look for in a quote

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Ordsall: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy 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. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
