Sink repair in Shadingfield without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we are called out for in Shadingfield

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Shadingfield

  • Enamelled basins

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Shadingfield: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Shadingfield?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shadingfield

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Shadingfield

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
