Sink repair in Shalbourne, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shalbourne, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Shalbourne
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Shalbourne and the rest of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Shalbourne?
We do. We send a technician to Shalbourne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Shalbourne?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
