Sink repair in Sandford-on-Thames without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and an antique basin with chips.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Questions from Sandford-on-Thames
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
