How we handle sink repair in Ashbank
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Ashbank: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

We cover the whole UK, including Ashbank and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
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 the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
