Sink repair in Alway, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Alway
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
If you are in Alway and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Alway
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you come to Alway?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Alway from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Alway, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
