Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

What affects the price in Alstone
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go. Somewhere as small as Alstone, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TA9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Alstone
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alstone as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairing versus replacing in Alstone
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Replacement in Alstone means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
