Acol: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Acol?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Sink repair in Acol without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Acol
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Acol
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Acol. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Acol and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Acol
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
