Tintwistle questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you come to Tintwistle?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Tintwistle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SK13 postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Tintwistle
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tintwistle as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Tintwistle
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
