Trusted sink repair in Allerton

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

About our sink repair in Allerton

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and an original basin worth saving.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Allerton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Repair or replace in Allerton?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
