Work for landlords and builders
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy 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, with colour mixed on site.

Ashurst questions
Do you come to Ashurst?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ashurst. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
