Sink repair in Rachub, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners.

FAQs for Rachub
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
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.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we’re called out for in Rachub
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Common reasons people in Rachub contact us are:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
