How we handle sink repair in Ashton
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
FAQs for Ashton
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
