Prices and what affects them

- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we are called out for in Hinksey Hill
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:

- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
FAQs for Hinksey Hill
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Are there extra charges for Hinksey Hill?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Hinksey Hill?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

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.

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
