Sink repair in Silchester without replacing anything

Your questions about sink repair in Silchester
What happens if you find more damage?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Silchester get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Silchester. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
