Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Sink repair in Rothley, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings

Rothley questions
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
