Landlords, agents and businesses in Watlington
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Watlington
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Watlington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Watlington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Your questions about sink repair in Watlington
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Watlington?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
