Trusted sink repair in Bloxham

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle sink repair in Bloxham

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • 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.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What affects the price in Bloxham

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
