How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Ash
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Ash questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Ash is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Ash?
We do. We send a technician to Ash for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ash
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
