About our sink repair in Shillinglee
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace in Shillinglee?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Shillinglee get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Shillinglee: your questions answered
Do you work in Shillinglee?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shillinglee for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
