Questions from West Gorton
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a price for sink repair in West Gorton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price

Common problems we fix in West Gorton
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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