What else we do in Altarnun
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Most clients in Altarnun 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.
Advice
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
FAQs for Altarnun
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
