Sink repair in Allerton, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Allerton

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Allerton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Allerton

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Allerton and the rest of Liverpool. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
