Sink repair in Rufford without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and a chipped vanity basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rufford
For anyone letting property in or around Rufford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rufford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Questions from Rufford
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Rufford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
