DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Trench Green, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we are called out for in Trench Green
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Advice
Trench Green questions
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Trench Green and the rest of Reading. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Trench Green.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
