About our sink repair in Earl Shilton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Earl Shilton
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Earl Shilton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
