10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair 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. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Ovington: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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 before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
