Sink & basin repair in Albury, Oxfordshire
Fixed-price sink repair in Albury and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and chips around the rim, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Same prices wherever you are
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Read our prices page.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks

What affects the price in Albury
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Albury questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

We work UK-wide, and that includes Albury. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
