Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
We polish the repair to blend it in.
You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Do DIY bath repair kits work?

Questions from Shadwell

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leeds.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are there extra charges for Shadwell?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Leeds. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shadwell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. 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, with colour mixed on site.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Unusual colours or finishes
How much damage there is
Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Something in shot to show the size
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t 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 will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
