Sink repair in Rochdale, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rochdale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Rochdale
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rochdale?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
