Sink repair in and around Alvingham: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site

Sink repair in Alvingham without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Alvingham
Common questions in Alvingham
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Alvingham is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
