Sink repair in Shaw, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common problems we fix in Shaw
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SN5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about sink repair in Shaw
Do you work in Shaw?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shaw and the rest of Swindon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swindon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shaw use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
