Eaton upon Tern questions
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TF9 postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Sink repair at your home in Eaton upon Tern
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and chips on the rim or front edge, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eaton upon Tern
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
