How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Caversham Heights, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about sink repair in Caversham Heights
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover Caversham Heights?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Caversham Heights from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
