Sink repair in Ramsbottom

About our sink repair in Ramsbottom

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We are frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What affects the price in Ramsbottom

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

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Ramsbottom, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

FAQs for Ramsbottom

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Ramsbottom?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ramsbottom for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
