Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically 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.

Signs you need sink repair in Rumworth

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

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

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Rumworth

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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything

Your questions about sink repair in Rumworth

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Rumworth?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Rumworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BL3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
