Sink repair in Ash, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
What affects the price in Ash
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ash. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Ash
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Common questions in Ash
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
