Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shotley Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Sink repair in Shotley Common, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge, we can typically put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shotley Common use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
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
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the entire UK

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
