Advice
Sink repair in Rowhedge, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix an antique basin with chips and a chipped basin edge, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Rowhedge: your questions answered
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Rowhedge get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
