Sink repair in Ashmore Green

Sink repair in Ashmore Green, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashmore Green

For anyone letting property in or around Ashmore Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Ashmore Green

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Ashmore Green clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Can I add another job to the visit?

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ashmore Green, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
