What we are called out for in Shipton Solars
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include

- How your room will be protected
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. 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.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
