Sink repair in Camb without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands.

Covering Camb
Camb is in the Shetland Islands. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, plus businesses and rented homes. Camb is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands where we work.
All of ZE2 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Nearby, we also work in Mid Yell (1 mile south), Aywick (4 miles south), Houbie (7 miles east), Cullivoe (7 miles north) and Clivocast (7 miles north-east). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.
Local landmarks in Camb
In Camb, that means homes near Mid Yell Junior High School and Reafirth Chapel and the streets around them. Not far away are Sigla Water and White Hill of Vatsetter.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Camb
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How much does sink repair cost in Camb?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to Camb?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Camb for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Do you need sink repair in Camb?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Camb, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What else we do in Camb
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
