Sink repair in Shelton, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Shelton clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Landlord and trade work in Shelton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shelton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shelton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Common questions in Shelton

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
