Sink repair at your home in Botley
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and cracks starting at the waste.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Botley
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Botley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What else we do in Botley
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Botley
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
