Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
FAQs for Shipton-under-Wychwood
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
