What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Rudmore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
FAQs for Rudmore
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rudmore?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PO2 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Portsmouth, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you come to Rudmore?
We do. We send a technician to Rudmore for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What affects the price in Rudmore
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Do you need sink repair in Rudmore?
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price

Repair or replace in Rudmore?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
