Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Berkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lambourn use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

FAQs for Lambourn

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Lambourn?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Do you need sink repair in Lambourn?

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Common reasons people in Lambourn contact us are:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
