Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
FAQs for Rimington
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work in Rimington?
We do. Technicians travel to Rimington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
