How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Sink repair at your home in Thame

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and chips from dropped toiletries, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

When to call us in Thame

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What affects the price in Thame

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Thame

Your questions about sink repair in Thame

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How much does sink repair cost in Thame?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX9 postcode.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
