How we handle sink repair in Shirley Oaks
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: 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 price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Shirley Oaks questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
Across the UK, and that includes Shirley Oaks. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
