Sink Repair for The Shoe homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in The Shoe, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Sink repair in The Shoe without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in The Shoe
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How much does sink repair cost in The Shoe?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.

- Filler is built up and sanded flush.

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in The Shoe
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including The Shoe. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
