Sink repair in Oldbury without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.
Repairing versus replacing in Oldbury
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Oldbury
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Oldbury?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sandwell and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Oldbury and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
