How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
FAQs for Alexandria
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does sink repair cost in Alexandria?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alexandria
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alexandria. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
