Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Questions from Ashurst

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you come to Ashurst?

We do. We send a technician to Ashurst for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Ashurst?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You do not 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
