Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashby Magna
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashby Magna as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Vitreous china

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
