Sink repair in Ashen without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and a crack near the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ashen and across Suffolk.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashen
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
