Sink repair in Ashkirk, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Ashkirk
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Ashkirk?

Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ashkirk
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Ashkirk
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Ashkirk
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
