What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we handle sink repair in Shreding Green

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire basin

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Shreding Green?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Shreding Green questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Shreding Green and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
