Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Shandon
How do I get a price for sink repair in Shandon?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need sink repair in Shandon
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
