About our sink repair in Ash Green

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Ash Green questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

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?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of Coventry?

The entire UK, including all of Coventry. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Ash Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ash Green

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ash Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
