Should you replace it?
A basin is normally 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Oxspring. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Common problems we fix in Oxspring
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
