Sink repair in Shobdon without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped vanity basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Shobdon and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Shobdon
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shobdon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Shobdon, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Shobdon?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
FAQs for Shobdon
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Advice
What we are called out for in Shobdon
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
