Book sink repair in Ashley

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle sink repair in Ashley

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Ashley: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Ashley

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
