What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from East Shalford
Do you cover East Shalford?
We do. We send a technician to East Shalford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I get a price for sink repair in East Shalford?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything

What else we do in East Shalford
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Shalford
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
