Sink Repair for Pingewood homes
We travel to Pingewood for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Pingewood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Sink repair in Pingewood, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we are called out for in Pingewood
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving

What else we do in Pingewood
Landlord and trade work in Pingewood
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Pingewood: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

We cover the whole UK, including Pingewood and the rest of Reading. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you come to Pingewood?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pingewood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repairing versus replacing in Pingewood
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
