Sink repair at your home in Shenley
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shenley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Shenley: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you come to Shenley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shenley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
