About our sink repair in Rough Knarr
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rough Knarr
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Rough Knarr questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rough Knarr?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
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 you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rough Knarr. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Rough Knarr and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go 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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
