Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Sink repair in Silverdale, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Silverdale

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

FAQs for Silverdale

What areas do you cover?

All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Silverdale

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

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
