Sink & basin repair in Ashwell, Rutland
Sink repair across Ashwell and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures, as it can add time.
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.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- A fixed quote before booking
