DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can normally put it right.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
When to call us in Boars Hill
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Questions from Boars Hill
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Boars Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boars Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- 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.

Advice
What affects the price in Boars Hill
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
