Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ampfield. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our sink repair in Ampfield
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Ampfield: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
