Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Henley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Sink repair in Henley without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common questions in Henley
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Henley.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Landlord and trade work in Henley
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Repairs by material
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Henley

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Henley. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
