Questions from Wrightington
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Wrightington
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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour-matched on site

Surfaces we repair

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
