Sink repair at your home in Upper Oddington
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Questions from Upper Oddington
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Upper Oddington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Upper Oddington. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Upper Oddington. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we’re called out for in Upper Oddington
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Oddington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add 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.
