Trusted sink repair in Alby

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Alby

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Alby clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
