Sink repair in Shanklin, done in place
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. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and an original basin worth saving, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO37 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Shanklin questions
Do I need to be at home?

What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Shanklin. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Shanklin?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
