What affects the price in Ashby St Mary
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Questions from Ashby St Mary
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work in Ashby St Mary?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ashby St Mary and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ashby St Mary.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should you replace it?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need sink repair in Ashby St Mary?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
