Questions from Alwalton
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Alwalton. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alwalton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
