DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Hinton Waldrist
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Hinton Waldrist, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hinton Waldrist
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.
Common problems we fix in Hinton Waldrist
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
