DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Caversham Park Village
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Caversham Park Village. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about sink repair in Caversham Park Village
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Caversham Park Village
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
