Sink repair in Shirehampton, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Signs you need sink repair in Shirehampton
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace in Shirehampton?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
