Sink repair at your home in Oak Tree
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oak Tree as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
FAQs for Oak Tree
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Oak Tree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: 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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
