Sink repair for Prescot homes

Prescot: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover the whole of St Helens?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your L35 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Prescot as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Prescot get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
