Sink repair at your home in Ashbourne
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
If you are in Ashbourne and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Questions from Ashbourne
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you need sink repair in Ashbourne?
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
