Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Questions from Dunsden Green
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you cover the entire of Reading?
Across the UK, and that includes Dunsden Green. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does sink repair cost in Dunsden Green?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunsden Green
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunsden Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Common problems we fix in Dunsden Green
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
