Sink repair in Little Wittenham

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

About our sink repair in Little Wittenham

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Little Wittenham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Little Wittenham: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Little Wittenham.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Wittenham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

Our hiring checklist

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
