DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Allaston
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
FAQs for Allaston
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Allaston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Allaston. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
