Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
Common questions in Oval
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How much does sink repair cost in Oval?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SW8 postcode.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Oval included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Oval get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
