Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ashridge, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Ashridge
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ashridge. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Ashridge
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
