DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we handle sink repair in Roddam

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Roddam. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
