Sink repair in Waterloo, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, across Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Your questions about sink repair in Waterloo
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of Greater Manchester?
Everywhere in the UK, Waterloo included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Waterloo.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
The process
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.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Waterloo
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Waterloo
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
