Common questions in Rokeby
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you come to Rokeby?
We do. Technicians travel to Rokeby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Rokeby included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Rokeby
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rokeby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
