How we handle sink repair in Rownhams
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and crazing in the glaze.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Rownhams, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings

What else we do in Rownhams
Common questions in Rownhams
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Rownhams.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Southampton. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need sink repair in Rownhams
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
