About our sink repair in Rope

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rope and across Cheshire East.

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

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.

Rope: your questions answered

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you work in Rope?

We do. We send a technician to Rope for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

The process

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. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You do not 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What affects the price in Rope

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rope, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Rope, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
