Shoscombe: your questions answered
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Shoscombe included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How we handle sink repair in Shoscombe
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shoscombe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Shoscombe
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
