Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Kencot?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Kencot questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Kencot. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How much does sink repair cost in Kencot?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
