Sink repair at your home in Shiskine
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Shiskine: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Shiskine?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your KA27 postcode.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
