Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. 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.
How we handle sink repair in Arborfield Garrison
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin.

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 keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Arborfield Garrison. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Arborfield Garrison
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
