When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Oxenpill

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

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.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Oxenpill

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What areas do you cover?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you come to Oxenpill?

We do. We send a technician to Oxenpill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Oxenpill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
