When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Withington

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When to call us in Withington

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Withington. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: 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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Withington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our pricing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
