About our sink repair in Strangeways
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps, in Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repairing versus replacing in Strangeways
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Strangeways. The price depends on:

- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Strangeways. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

Landlords, agents and businesses in Strangeways
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strangeways use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
