Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

What we are called out for in Spelsbury

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Spelsbury

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Spelsbury

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

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. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
