Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Rose Hill

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Rose Hill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

FAQs for Rose Hill

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
