About our sink repair in Wheatley
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and chips on the rim or front edge, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring

Landlord and trade work in Wheatley
If you manage property in Wheatley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wheatley. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Wheatley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX33 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wheatley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Wheatley questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
