Sink repair at your home in Salterhebble
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Salterhebble

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Salterhebble
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Salterhebble questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
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 do I get a price for sink repair in Salterhebble?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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 will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
