Sink repair in Alton without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
Sink repair in Alton, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Alton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Alton
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Alton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
