Sink repair in Headington Hill without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
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’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in Headington Hill

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace in Headington Hill?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
