When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
About our sink repair in Oaken
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips, across enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Common questions in Oaken
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oaken
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
