Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we handle sink repair in Alveston
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Alveston
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Alveston
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alveston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Alveston
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.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
The process
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 few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
What we are called out for in Alveston
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
