Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rotherham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

Common questions in Cortworth
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Rotherham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Cortworth?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Cortworth?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cortworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
