Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Burghfield Bridge
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Burghfield Bridge?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Burghfield Bridge.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Burghfield Bridge. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG30 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
