DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re 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.
Questions from Shellbrook
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shellbrook. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
Repair or replace in Shellbrook?
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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
