Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Sink repair in Ash Mill, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Ash Mill
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What else we do in Ash Mill
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
