FAQs for Loxford
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
