Common questions in Rainton
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What else we do in Rainton
Landlord and trade work in Rainton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rainton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Signs you need sink repair in Rainton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairing versus replacing in Rainton
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
