Sink repair at your home in Charlton-on-Otmoor
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and crazing in the glaze, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Charlton-on-Otmoor
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
