How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle 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. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ashley Down, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashley Down

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Ashley Down

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Ashley Down

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashley Down as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
