Common questions in Ashwell
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you cover Ashwell?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ashwell and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 photos.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ashwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
