Repair or replace in Alresford?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the whole UK
- A fixed quote before you book
See our prices page.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alresford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Alresford questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Alresford included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
