About our sink repair in Hinstock
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What else we do in Hinstock
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Normally one visit, start to finish

Hinstock questions
Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Hinstock included. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Hinstock?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hinstock. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need sink repair in Hinstock?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped basin edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hinstock as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
