Sink repair in Aller

About our sink repair in Aller

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Aller. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aller. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Common questions in Aller

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
