How we handle sink repair in Rhu
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhu use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rhu: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rhu?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Rhu?
We do. We send a technician to Rhu for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
