Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Shelf: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Shelf?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What affects the price in Shelf
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shelf. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
