Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Questions from Allercombe
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Allercombe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
