When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Sink repair in Shaw without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shaw
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we are called out for in Shaw
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, 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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

We do. Repair technicians travel to Shaw from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Across the UK, and that includes Shaw. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
