Ashurst Wood questions

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Ashurst Wood?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ashurst Wood. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashurst Wood

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
