Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Alveston
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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 keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
