FAQs for Walmersley
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How we handle sink repair in Walmersley
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks starting at the waste.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bury.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Walmersley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
