About our sink repair in Alconbury
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Alconbury and across Cambridgeshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Signs you need sink repair in Alconbury
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Alconbury
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Alconbury. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Alconbury?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Alconbury. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
