Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What else we do in Oakhanger
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Advice
Oakhanger: your questions answered
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Oakhanger?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Oakhanger from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95.

Signs you need sink repair in Oakhanger
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
