  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Crazing in the glaze

How to compare quotes

Aston questions

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What does sink repair cost?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aston

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aston. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Aston clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Surfaces we repair

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