How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rapps. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rapps. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in Rapps
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we’re called about are:

- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
FAQs for Rapps
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rapps?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
