How we handle sink repair in Rickinghall
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Rickinghall
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rickinghall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Rickinghall
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Rickinghall
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
