How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What else we do in Rearsby
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, 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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Rearsby
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Rearsby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
