What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What else we do in West Reading
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we’re called out for in West Reading
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in West Reading contact us are:
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why West Reading clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Your questions about sink repair in West Reading
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are there extra charges for West Reading?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in West Reading
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
