How we handle sink repair in Ashton-on-Ribble
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
FAQs for Ashton-on-Ribble
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lancashire.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
