Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace in Tackley?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Tackley
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you work in Tackley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Tackley and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
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 often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
