Sink repair in Rufford

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Sink repair at your home in Rufford

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips from dropped toiletries, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Rufford clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Rufford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Rufford questions

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Rufford.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
