Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Your questions about sink repair in Rakewood
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What else we do in Rakewood
When to call us in Rakewood
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
