About our sink repair in Romilly

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Romilly

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Signs you need sink repair in Romilly

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Repair or replace in Romilly?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Romilly: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much does sink repair cost in Romilly?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
