Sink repair in Cold Ashton, done in place
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SN14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Repairing versus replacing in Cold Ashton
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common problems we fix in Cold Ashton
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Go 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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
