Sink repair in Caversham without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.

Caversham: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you come to Caversham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Caversham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
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.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Caversham. Prices do not change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
When to call us in Caversham
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Caversham. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Caversham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
