How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
About our sink repair in Shirecliffe
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Shirecliffe
If you manage property in Shirecliffe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sheffield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your S5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Questions from Shirecliffe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Shirecliffe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shirecliffe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price in Shirecliffe
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
