DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we handle sink repair in Chesterton
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. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Chesterton questions
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll 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?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Chesterton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Common problems we fix in Chesterton

- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Chesterton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Chesterton

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
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 will reply with a fixed quote.
