Sink Repair in Ashprington
Damaged basin in Ashprington? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Sink repair in Ashprington without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and a crazed, tired basin.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashprington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Ashprington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Ashprington?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
