Sink repair near Rolleston on Dove

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common problems we fix in Rolleston on Dove

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, 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.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rolleston on Dove, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
