Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ormskirk

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common questions in Ormskirk

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ormskirk.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is it messy?

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Ormskirk

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
