Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Alderminster

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

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. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Your questions about sink repair in Alderminster

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Signs you need sink repair in Alderminster

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
