Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about sink repair in Christmas Common
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Christmas Common?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Christmas Common. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Christmas Common
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Christmas Common as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Christmas Common
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
We do not 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 quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
