What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What your basin is made of matters

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Alvington
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Alvington?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Alvington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
