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

Do you need sink repair in Routh?

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A crack near the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Routh

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Riding of Yorkshire.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Routh?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Routh. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
