Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
About our sink repair in Alby Hill
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Your questions about sink repair in Alby Hill
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you cover Alby Hill?
We do. We send a technician to Alby Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alby Hill
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Alby Hill
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Alby Hill
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
