Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Sink repair at your home in Emstrey
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

FAQs for Emstrey
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
