Sink repair in Rowrah without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Rowrah
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- 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 if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
