Sink repair in Oakthorpe Park without replacing anything
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 regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Oakthorpe Park
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakthorpe Park as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Oakthorpe Park, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Period and antique

Questions from Oakthorpe Park
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
