How we handle sink repair in Ashley

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ashley and across Kent.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

Repairing versus replacing in Ashley

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place

Ashley: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

  • A period basin that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
