Common questions in Walsden
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How we handle sink repair in Walsden
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Walsden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When to call us in Walsden
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
