How we handle sink repair in Ashover
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Ashover questions
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to Ashover?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ashover from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing in Ashover
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you need sink repair in Ashover?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
