How we handle sink repair in Torkington
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Torkington: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you come to Torkington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Torkington and the rest of Stockport. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Torkington.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are
