How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
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. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we are called out for in Rackheath
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Common reasons people in Rackheath contact us are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about sink repair in Rackheath
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Rackheath. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
