Sink Repair across Rotherham

Our sink repair service in Rotherham

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Signs you need sink repair

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An antique basin with chips

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rotherham. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Rotherham questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
