Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ash. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Sink repair in Ash, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

When to call us in Ash

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Ash questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ash

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

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 clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
