How we handle sink repair in Ashwell
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
