Questions from Alt Hill
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Alt Hill?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
