Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Period and antique

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Howe Hill: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Howe Hill?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire basin

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX49 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Howe Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
