Sink repair in Alvanley, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring, across enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When to call us in Alvanley
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Landlord and trade work in Alvanley
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What affects the price in Alvanley
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
