Sink repair in Ashford without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Ashford
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
