Sink repair in Wallasey without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped basin edge, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wirral.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Wallasey, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace in Wallasey?

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we are called out for in Wallasey
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
