DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: 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 quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Common questions in Rushbrooke
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rushbrooke?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work in Rushbrooke?
We do. We send a technician to Rushbrooke for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Rushbrooke, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Do you need sink repair in Rushbrooke?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
