Sink Repair for Ruckinge homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Ruckinge, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Signs you need sink repair in Ruckinge
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to look after the finish
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
