Sink repair in Headington Quarry, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with a crack near the taps and an antique basin with chips, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Headington Quarry. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
