About our sink repair in Crowmarsh Gifford
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crowmarsh Gifford and across Oxfordshire.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
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
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
