The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. 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, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shalford. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shalford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Shalford
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Shalford questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Signs you need sink repair in Shalford
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice

- Whether the price covers travel
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
