Sink repair for Rhodes homes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

About our sink repair in Rhodes

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Rhodes and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rhodes

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rochdale and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Rhodes, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Rhodes

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Rhodes: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Repairing versus replacing in Rhodes

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
