Sink & basin repair in Hopesgate, Shropshire
Our repair technicians come to Hopesgate for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Signs you need sink repair in Hopesgate
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
