What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- We build up the filler and sand it flush.

- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:

- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What affects the price in Shipbourne
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Common questions in Shipbourne
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
