Sink repair in Shulishader without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit

How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What affects the price in Shulishader
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Shulishader. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Shulishader
