  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oscroft as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Oscroft. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
