- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze
What affects the price in Rattery
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rattery, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Sink repair in Rattery, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rattery as everywhere else we work.

Do you need sink repair in Rattery?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Your questions about sink repair in Rattery
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rattery?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
