Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price

Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Your questions about sink repair in Sheering
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Sheering is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Sheering?
We do. We send a technician to Sheering for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
