Sink repair in Oakridge, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Oakridge: your questions answered
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Oakridge
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Oakridge
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Oakridge. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
