Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Signs you need sink repair in Ailsworth
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

How the visit works

- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Landlord and trade work in Ailsworth
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Peterborough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
