How we handle sink repair in The Down
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. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped basin edge.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Signs you need sink repair in The Down
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing in The Down
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
