Sink repair in Rushbury without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and crazing in the glaze.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down 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.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
