FAQs for Alpraham
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Alpraham?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Alpraham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Alpraham
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
