FAQs for Ousden
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Ousden?
We do. We send a technician to Ousden for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Ousden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Other services in Ousden
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
