Other services in Rushden
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rushden
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Rushden
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for Rushden
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Rushden?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rushden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does sink repair cost in Rushden?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
