Sink repair in Shanklin Village, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about sink repair in Shanklin Village
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

What we are called out for in Shanklin Village
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Shanklin Village, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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 happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
