Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Oakwood questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Oakwood?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
