Sink & basin repair in Albrighton, Shropshire
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homes and businesses in Albrighton and across Shropshire. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Looking after it afterwards
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 mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Sink repair in Albrighton without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
