Sink & basin repair in Overton, Lancashire
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Overton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Sink repair at your home in Overton
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can usually put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing in Overton
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about sink repair in Overton
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you cover Overton?
We do. We send a technician to Overton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Overton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.

What else we do in Overton
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
