How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlord and trade work in Shortlands
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shortlands as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Shortlands
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What your basin is made of matters
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 finish the repair to the same sheen.
Signs you need sink repair in Shortlands
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
