Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our sink repair in Shawbirch
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with crazing in the glaze and an original basin worth saving, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawbirch
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Shawbirch, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
