How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Rathmell
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rathmell. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Rathmell questions
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
When to call us in Rathmell
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
