Sink repair in Knockin without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. 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.
Knockin questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Knockin.
Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Knockin and the rest of Shropshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Knockin
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
