Sink repair for Rawmarsh homes

Sink repair in Rawmarsh, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips around the rim.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Rawmarsh

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our full price list.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Signs you need sink repair in Rawmarsh

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
