Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we are called out for in Tyldesley
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tyldesley. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Tyldesley: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Tyldesley?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your M29 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
