Sink Repair in Alton Barnes

- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Sink repair in Alton Barnes, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for Alton Barnes
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover Alton Barnes?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Alton Barnes and the rest of Wiltshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
