Sink repair in Arborfield, done in place
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. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim, we can normally put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RG2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry

Repair or replace in Arborfield?
Swapping a basin frequently 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: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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 near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
