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

- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Repairing versus replacing in Alnwick
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Alnwick
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Are there extra charges for Alnwick?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Common problems we fix in Alnwick
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
