Sink Repair for Stretford homes
We travel to Stretford for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Sink repair in Stretford without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge, we can generally put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stretford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What else we do in Stretford
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Stretford
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
