Sink repair in Shillford, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from Shillford
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Shillford. Prices do not change with location.
Are there extra charges for Shillford?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
