What affects the price in Rakeway
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle sink repair in Rakeway
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we are called out for in Rakeway
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips

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 polish the repair to suit.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repair or replace in Rakeway?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Rakeway
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work in Rakeway?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rakeway from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
