How we handle sink repair in Wimbolds Trafford
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wimbolds Trafford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wimbolds Trafford. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Wimbolds Trafford, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
