Questions from Risley
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How much does sink repair cost in Risley?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Risley
If you manage property in Risley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Risley. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
