Alford: your questions answered
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Alford and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Alford
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
