Sink & basin repair in Donnington, Oxfordshire
Problem with your basin in Donnington? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Sink repair at your home in Donnington
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Donnington as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Donnington
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Donnington included. Travel is included in the price.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Donnington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
