Sink repair at your home in Wardle

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Wardle

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How much does sink repair cost in Wardle?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your OL12 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you cover Wardle?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wardle and the rest of Rochdale. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Signs you need sink repair in Wardle

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Look out for these signs:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Wardle

  • Belfast and butler sinks

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Most clients in Wardle get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
