Common questions in Inner Avenue
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Advice
Towns and villages near Inner Avenue
What else we do in Inner Avenue
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Inner Avenue. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Inner Avenue. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Inner Avenue, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
