Sink repair at your home in Alverstone Garden Village
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Alverstone Garden Village. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For a price in Alverstone Garden Village, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Alverstone Garden Village questions
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Alverstone Garden Village.

What we are called out for in Alverstone Garden Village
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
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 collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
