What else we do in Twyford
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

What affects the price in Twyford
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace in Twyford?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
