Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Alpington
Do you work in Alpington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alpington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What else we do in Alpington
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we are called out for in Alpington
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
