Repair or replace in Alderney?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Alderney questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How much does sink repair cost in Alderney?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BH12 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we do, step by step

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Signs you need sink repair in Alderney
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
