About our sink repair in Pangbourne
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pangbourne and across Oxfordshire.

What affects the price in Pangbourne
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pangbourne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Pangbourne
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Pangbourne
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
