Sink repair near Ashwell End

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Advice

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 is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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 typically the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Ashwell End

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ashwell End. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ashwell End, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
