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, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Sink repair at your home in Shop Corner
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Shop Corner
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Shop Corner?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shop Corner from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Fixed prices from your photos
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day

- 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
