FAQs for Shipdham
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does sink repair cost in Shipdham?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Sink repair in Shipdham without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP25 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
