Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Your questions about sink repair in Oulton Heath
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Repair or replace in Oulton Heath?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Composite and resin

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
