How we handle sink repair in Rickerby

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Rickerby
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rickerby?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
