For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wantage use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Wantage questions
How much does sink repair cost in Wantage?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Signs you need sink repair in Wantage
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.

Repairing versus replacing in Wantage
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wantage. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wantage. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
