Your questions about sink repair in Ashford

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Sink repair at your home in Ashford

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairing versus replacing in Ashford

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Ashford

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
