- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oakhunger. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Signs you need sink repair in Oakhunger
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Oakhunger
Do you come to Oakhunger?
We do. Technicians travel to Oakhunger from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Oakhunger
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakhunger use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
