Sink repair for Buscot homes

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Sink repair at your home in Buscot

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and an original basin worth saving, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Buscot as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Buscot questions

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Buscot?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Buscot and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
