The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

Most customers in Sheepdrove get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Sheepdrove: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
