Sink repair at your home in The Rookery
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Your questions about sink repair in The Rookery
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you come to The Rookery?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to The Rookery. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
