DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Sink repair in Old Alresford without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Old Alresford
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common questions in Old Alresford
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Are there extra charges for Old Alresford?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Old Alresford and the rest of Hampshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
What affects the price in Old Alresford
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
