Sink repair in Witton

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Sink repair in Witton, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Witton and across Cheshire West and Chester.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Witton

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Witton.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
