Common questions in Woodley

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover the entire of Stockport?

The whole UK, including all of Stockport. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Sink repair in Woodley without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodley

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Woodley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

What affects the price in Woodley

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Woodley. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Woodley

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
