Sink repair in Great Oxendon, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Great Oxendon
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Oxendon
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Great Oxendon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
