Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What else we do in Parr
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Parr questions
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you cover the whole of St Helens?
All of St Helens, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Most customers in Parr get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Parr as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
