Questions from Rawthorpe
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rawthorpe?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HD5 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rawthorpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
