- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

About our sink repair in Thorns Green
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about sink repair in Thorns Green
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?

Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Trafford. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Thorns Green?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your WA15 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
