About our sink repair in Oxhill
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Oxhill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need sink repair in Oxhill?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
