Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Henley-on-Thames questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
