What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace in Mongewell?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Mongewell questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you work in Mongewell?
We do. We send a technician to Mongewell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
