Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Sink repair in Alton Priors, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Alton Priors
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Alton Priors. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Do you need sink repair in Alton Priors?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Before booking anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- 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 will say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
Your questions about sink repair in Alton Priors
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
