DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What else we do in Whalley Range
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Questions from Whalley Range
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should you replace it?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Take a look at our prices page.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
