What affects the price in Canons Ashby
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Signs you need sink repair in Canons Ashby
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
