About our sink repair in Shalstone
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and chips from dropped toiletries.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

FAQs for Shalstone
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Are there extra charges for Shalstone?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What else we do in Shalstone
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shalstone use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What affects the price in Shalstone
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shalstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your MK18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
