- A crazed, tired basin

Repairing versus replacing in Shepperdine
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shepperdine. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Landlord and trade work in Shepperdine
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Shepperdine, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Common questions in Shepperdine
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
