Sink repair at your home in Sherwood Rise

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Sherwood Rise questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

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 your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When to call us in Sherwood Rise

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
