Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Sink repair at your home in Ashill
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Why Ashill customers choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- Details of any past repairs

Common questions in Ashill
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ashill included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
