Sink repair in Ashton

Sink repair in Ashton without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Ashton

What we’re called out for in Ashton

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Ashton?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. 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.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What affects the price in Ashton

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ashton. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
