About our sink repair in Rose Hill

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

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. 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 pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Your questions about sink repair in Rose Hill

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Rose Hill?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Rose Hill

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

Common problems we fix in Rose Hill

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
