Sink repair in Long Wittenham

Landlord and trade work in Long Wittenham

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Wittenham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we handle sink repair in Long Wittenham

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Choosing a repair company

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Long Wittenham: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Repair or replace in Long Wittenham?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
