Sink repair for Rackham homes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

About our sink repair in Rackham

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Rackham

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you come to Rackham?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rackham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Signs you need sink repair in Rackham

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
