Buckland questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When to call us in Buckland

- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Buckland
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buckland as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Buckland clients choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- Generally one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Buckland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SN7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
