Sink repair in Scouthead, done in place

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Scouthead, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Scouthead
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period 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 and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Questions from Scouthead
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Scouthead and the rest of Oldham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
