Sink repair in Rudyard

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Sink repair in Rudyard without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We’re often asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rudyard

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Rudyard

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped basin edge

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

FAQs for Rudyard

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
