When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

About our sink repair in Alvediston

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. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and chips on the rim or front edge.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Questions from Alvediston

How do I get a price for sink repair in Alvediston?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Alvediston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Alvediston and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Alvediston. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Alvediston, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
