Landlord and trade work in Northend
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Northend
Basins are often 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 normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
