About our sink repair in Oxcroft Estate
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Oxcroft Estate and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Other services in Oxcroft Estate
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oxcroft Estate
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
