Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Advice
What affects the price in Aston Upthorpe
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Aston Upthorpe

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Signs you need sink repair in Aston Upthorpe
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
