About our sink repair in Shephall
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can normally put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
