Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashton Vale
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bristol and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about sink repair in Ashton Vale
Are there extra charges for Ashton Vale?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Ashton Vale and the rest of Bristol. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ashton Vale. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
