How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks

Your questions about sink repair in Ashley

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

How much does sink repair cost in Ashley?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Composite and resin

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