How we handle sink repair in Reading
Where we can, we keep the maker’s mark on period basins. We repair chips and cracks in place, so there’s no plumbing to disturb. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and damage around taps and wastes.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
When to call us in Reading
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste, where fittings are tightened against the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Reading
Will the repair match my basin?
The colour is mixed on the day to match your basin, and the repair is polished to blend in.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Do you protect the room?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up when we finish.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Reading?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your RG6 postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
Can you fix a cracked sink?
Many cracks can, particularly on the rim. If it leaks, replacement may be safer.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
