Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashford Carbonell
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, 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?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ashford Carbonell, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Ashford Carbonell
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Shropshire.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
