About our sink repair in Oaksey

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Oaksey

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common questions in Oaksey

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wiltshire.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
