How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Rushford
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rushford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Rushford
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Your questions about sink repair in Rushford
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Rushford included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you work in Rushford?
We do. We send a technician to Rushford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
