How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we handle sink repair in Asfordby

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and chips on a built-in basin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Asfordby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Asfordby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about sink repair in Asfordby

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover Asfordby?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Asfordby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
