Sink repair for Rodbourne homes

Sink repair in Rodbourne without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Do you need sink repair in Rodbourne?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Choosing a repair company

Rodbourne questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Rodbourne?

We do. Technicians travel to Rodbourne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What affects the price in Rodbourne

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
