For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Sink repair at your home in Shop
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shop. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

Questions from Shop
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Shop is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shop.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
