Repairing versus replacing in Albaston
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What affects the price in Albaston
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Albaston. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Albaston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Albaston
Are there extra charges for Albaston?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Albaston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
