What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Almholme. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
FAQs for Almholme
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Also in Almholme
Do you need sink repair in Almholme?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
