FAQs for Ashwicken

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When to call us in Ashwicken

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
