How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- 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
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped basin edge

- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire basin
Most customers in Ashby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Your questions about sink repair in Ashby
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work in Ashby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ashby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
