DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not 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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Craven Arms and the surrounding area
Craven Arms is about 19 miles west of Bridgnorth, in Shropshire. We visit homes and businesses in Craven Arms and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. Craven Arms is one of 433 places in Shropshire we cover. Our jobs stretch from Craven Arms to Birmingham (about 40 miles away).
We cover every part of the SY7 and SY6 postcode area. From Market Street, Ash Close and Whitemeadow Close or a nearby road, we can come to you. With the A49 and B4368 close by, Craven Arms is easy for our repair technicians to reach. Close by, we cover Halford (1 mile north-east), The Grove (1 mile north), Long Meadowend (1 mile west), Wistanstow (2 miles north) and Leamoor Common (2 miles north).

We visit homes around Stokesay Primary School, Stokesay Inn and Church of St Thomas and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Craven Arms itself: Craven Arms station. A little further out are Stokesay Castle (0.8 miles south) and Land of Lost Content (less than half a mile south-east). For a walk, there is Callow Hill.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

- Widespread crazing

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
Repair or replace in Craven Arms?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
