About our sink repair in Ashford in the Water
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ashford in the Water. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is

- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures

- Details of any past repairs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashford in the Water
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashford in the Water use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not 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 pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
