DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

FAQs for Fair Oak

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Fair Oak?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Do you cover Fair Oak?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fair Oak and the rest of West Berkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across West Berkshire.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Fair Oak. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
