Landlord and trade work in Shelley
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shelley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Common problems we fix in Shelley
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Shelley questions
Are there extra charges for Shelley?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Shelley?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
