Sink repair in Shalden, 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 vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Shalden questions
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you work in Shalden?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shalden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is repairing better 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.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your GU34 postcode.
Common problems we fix in Shalden
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For a price in Shalden, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shalden. The price depends on:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Shalden
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What else we do in Shalden
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
