About our sink repair in Denchworth

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving, we can generally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Denchworth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our pricing.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
