Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlord and trade work in Oakley
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Oakley
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?

When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your MK43 postcode.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
