About our sink repair in Talke
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Talke
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
