Sink Repair for Aldwarke homes
We travel to Aldwarke for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rotherham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Repairing versus replacing in Aldwarke
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
