Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Alder Moor: your questions answered
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How much does sink repair cost in Alder Moor?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Alder Moor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
