Advice
Sink repair in Shatterling, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Shatterling and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
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
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Signs you need sink repair in Shatterling
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
