I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

About our sink repair in Withington

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Signs you need sink repair in Withington

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
