Sink repair in Fairford without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Your questions about sink repair in Fairford
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Fairford.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What else we do in Fairford
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
