Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Alne questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Alne, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Alne get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alne
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Alne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
