What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across West Berkshire.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

  • One picture of the entire basin

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Thatcham, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thatcham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
