Sink repair in Cold Ashby without replacing anything

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Cold Ashby

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Northamptonshire.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Do you need sink repair in Cold Ashby?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
