What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Allerston
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Allerston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Allerston and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Repairing versus replacing in Allerston
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Allerston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Allerston. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need sink repair in Allerston?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
