Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped vanity basin.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipton Gorge
For anyone letting property in or around Shipton Gorge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When to call us in Shipton Gorge
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Shipton Gorge and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Your questions about sink repair in Shipton Gorge
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
