How we handle sink repair in Oversland
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace in Oversland?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Take a look at our pricing.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Oversland

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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.

Common questions in Oversland
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Oversland.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What affects the price in Oversland
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Oversland, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
