Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashculme as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Ashculme: your questions answered
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are there extra charges for Ashculme?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Repair or replace in Ashculme?

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What else we do in Ashculme
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Ashculme
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
