Related advice
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Alderton: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Alderton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Alderton
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What affects the price in Alderton
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Alderton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
