Sink & basin repair in Ickford, Buckinghamshire
Damaged basin in Ickford? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Same prices wherever you are

- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What affects the price in Ickford
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ickford. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ickford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you manage property in Ickford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ickford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
