Every job is backed for twelve months in Southway and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Southway
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Southway
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southway use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Southway questions
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
