Your questions about sink repair in Goring
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Common problems we fix in Goring
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Common reasons people in Goring contact us are:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
