The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Ayot St Peter: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you need sink repair in Ayot St Peter?

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Ayot St Peter
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ayot St Peter. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
