Sink repair in Old Windsor, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 chipped vanity basin

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Questions from Old Windsor
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Old Windsor?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
