For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Askomill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

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.

Questions from Askomill

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need sink repair in Askomill?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Askomill customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

What affects the price in Askomill

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Askomill, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
