How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Sink repair in Salford, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and chips on the rim or front edge, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Do you need sink repair in Salford?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What affects the price in Salford
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
