Common questions in Ashby Folville
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Ashby Folville?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ashby Folville from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Repairing versus replacing in Ashby Folville
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

- How much damage there is
- The material
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
