Sink repair in Red Rice without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and knocks from hair straighteners, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common questions in Red Rice
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work in Red Rice?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Red Rice and the rest of Hampshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Red Rice, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

Repair or replace in Red Rice?
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. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Red Rice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SP11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would 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 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
