Sink Repair in Duns Tew
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Duns Tew, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Sink repair in Duns Tew, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

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, with colour mixed on site.
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.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Your questions about sink repair in Duns Tew
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
