Shaw Lands: your questions answered

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we’re called out for in Shaw Lands
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
