Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Sink repair in Wigan without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Wigan
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wigan, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
