How to compare quotes

Sink repair in Goff's Oak without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and a crack near the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Goff's Oak. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Goff's Oak

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

Goff's Oak: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
