Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 will not last.
Common questions in Ashley Heath
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. 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 them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks

Repair or replace in Ashley Heath?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Related advice
Do you need sink repair in Ashley Heath?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
