Sink & basin repair in Almeley, Herefordshire
Fixed-price sink repair in Almeley and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped vanity basin
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can help.

Should you replace it?

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Almeley. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
