DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Alderford questions
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Alderford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Alderford and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Alderford
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
