Our sink repair service in Reading
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairing versus replacing
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Common questions in Reading
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
