DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
FAQs for Ducklington
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Landlord and trade work in Ducklington
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
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.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Most clients in Ducklington get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
