Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Great Shefford questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Great Shefford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Shefford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Great Shefford
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Great Shefford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
