DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Related advice
Signs you need sink repair in Shottlegate
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shottlegate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
