Sink repair at your home in Rowley
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What affects the price in Rowley
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rowley. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Questions from Rowley
Do you cover Rowley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rowley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rowley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Rowley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
