How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Asfordby Hill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Asfordby Hill
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
The entire UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
