Sink repair near Rothwell

Sink repair in Rothwell without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin, we can usually put it right, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about sink repair in Rothwell

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What do you need from me?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Rothwell?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NN14 postcode.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Rothwell

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rothwell

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What sink repair costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rothwell, and we will reply with a fixed price.
