Sink repair in Shipton Green, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shipton Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Shipton Green
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
