Sink & basin repair in Inkpen Common, West Berkshire
Damaged basin in Inkpen Common? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we handle sink repair in Inkpen Common
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Inkpen Common
Are there extra charges for Inkpen Common?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across West Berkshire.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
When to call us in Inkpen Common
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
