About our sink repair in Alva
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
