Your questions about sink repair in Ruyton-XI-Towns
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Ruyton-XI-Towns
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ruyton-XI-Towns. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

What else we do in Ruyton-XI-Towns
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
