Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. For a rural home like those around Ashby Hill, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while sink repair is one trip.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashby Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
