Sink repair at your home in Rumburgh
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rumburgh. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When to call us in Rumburgh
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Before you book anyone

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Rumburgh: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
