Sink & basin repair in Strines, Stockport
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homes and businesses in Strines and across Stockport. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
About our sink repair in Strines
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and a chipped vanity basin, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
