What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ae, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Ae questions
Do you work in Ae?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ae. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Ae customers choose us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Do you need sink repair in Ae?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ae. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
