Common questions in Rabbit's Cross

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When to call us in Rabbit's Cross

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A period basin that needs restoring

10 questions to ask before booking

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rabbit's Cross. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Rabbit's Cross and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
