Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Ashcombe: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are there extra charges for Ashcombe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
