About our sink repair in Highclere
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Highclere and across West Berkshire.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
FAQs for Highclere
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Highclere
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
