Sink & basin repair in Shelton, Stoke-on-Trent
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for householders, landlords and businesses in Shelton. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and chips from dropped toiletries, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shelton and across Stoke-on-Trent.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repairing versus replacing in Shelton
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlord and trade work in Shelton
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shelton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
