Sink & basin repair in Knighton, Shropshire
Our technicians come to Knighton for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit

- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and chips from dropped toiletries.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Do you need sink repair in Knighton?
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Knighton
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Landlord and trade work in Knighton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
