Sink repair at your home in Runhall

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Runhall. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

FAQs for Runhall

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
