Sink repair in Ashdon, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Ashdon
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: 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.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace in Ashdon?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ashdon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
See our prices page.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common questions in Ashdon
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does sink repair cost in Ashdon?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
