Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Our hiring checklist

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, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

FAQs for Ashmanhaugh

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you remove the sink?

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
