When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Harlescott
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
