Sink & basin repair in Alderton, Northamptonshire
We travel to Alderton for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can normally put it right.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alderton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about sink repair in Alderton
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are there extra charges for Alderton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Alderton
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
