Sink repair in Sholing without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For anyone letting property in or around Sholing, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Sholing
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Sholing: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Southampton?
Across the UK, and that includes Sholing. Prices do not change with location.
Do you work in Sholing?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sholing for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
