Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common questions in Rainford
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rainford?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Rainford and the rest of St Helens. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- Where the damage is and how we get to it

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
