Sink repair in Shatterford

Sink repair in Shatterford, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Worcestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shatterford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Shatterford

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Crazing in the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Common questions in Shatterford

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
