What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
When to call us in Headington
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Your questions about sink repair in Headington
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
