Sink repair at your home in Rodsley
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We are often asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Repair or replace in Rodsley?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Do you need sink repair in Rodsley?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge

Common questions in Rodsley
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Rodsley?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
