What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Alkrington
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Alkrington?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
