Sink repair in Rotherford

About our sink repair in Rotherford

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Rotherford

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rotherford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Rotherford

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Questions from Rotherford

Do I have to be there?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you remove the sink?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
