Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S44 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Oxcroft

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Oxcroft questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Oxcroft?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Oxcroft and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
