Your questions about sink repair in Nuffield

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do you work in Nuffield?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Nuffield and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we handle sink repair in Nuffield

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Nuffield. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

What we’re called out for in Nuffield

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
