What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Questions from Twyford
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How much does sink repair cost in Twyford?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Twyford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace in Twyford?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Twyford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
