Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Ashwater
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EX21 postcode.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Ashwater
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashwater as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What affects the price in Ashwater
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
