How we handle sink repair in Tonge
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.

Common questions in Tonge
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Repair or replace in Tonge?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
