How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Shootash
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
