Repair or replace in Snelson?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Snelson. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Snelson questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I have to be there?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you come to Snelson?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Snelson and the rest of Cheshire East. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Snelson

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
