Common problems we fix in Aylburton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Aylburton questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
