About our sink repair in Fleming Field
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and a period basin that needs restoring, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Fleming Field
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Fleming Field?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fleming Field as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Fleming Field, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not 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.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
