Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Cookley Green
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does sink repair cost in Cookley Green?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cookley Green, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down 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 are there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
