Trusted sink repair in Shrivenham

Sink repair at your home in Shrivenham

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shrivenham. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shrivenham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.
