Sink repair in Sankey Bridges without replacing anything

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Sankey Bridges

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

When to call us in Sankey Bridges

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
