Landlord and trade work in Shader
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need sink repair in Shader?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Common reasons people in Shader contact us include:
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HS2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
