FAQs for Oakdale
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Repairing versus replacing in Oakdale
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Oakdale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the whole UK

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Oakdale
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
