What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about sink repair in Ashgill

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ML9 postcode.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How we price sink repair

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ashgill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
