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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What we’re called out for in Aston
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Aston. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Questions from Aston
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
