Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Alciston: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Alciston?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN26 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Alciston. Our prices are the same everywhere.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Alciston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Alciston customers choose us
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the entire UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
