Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sheviock. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Sink repair in Sheviock without replacing anything
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 stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Sheviock. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Signs you need sink repair in Sheviock
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
