Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What affects the price in Ashburton
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Ashburton questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Repair or replace in Ashburton?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add 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.
