Sink repair in Ashton Hayes, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Take a look at our pricing.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Ashton Hayes get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically the cheaper route.
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.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashton Hayes as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
