Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Sheldwich and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sheldwich
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
