Sink repair in Wistaston

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Sink repair at your home in Wistaston

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. Whether it’s chips around the rim and cracks starting at the waste, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wistaston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Wistaston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When to call us in Wistaston

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Wistaston questions

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CW2 postcode.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cheshire East. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
