How we handle sink repair in Roby
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

FAQs for Roby
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your L36 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.
