How we handle sink repair in Shilton
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Shilton
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Shilton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Shilton: your questions answered
Do you cover Shilton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does sink repair cost in Shilton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX18 postcode.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairing versus replacing in Shilton
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Shilton
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
