About our sink repair in Flackley Ash
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we are called out for in Flackley Ash
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Flackley Ash questions
Are there extra charges for Flackley Ash?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Landlord and trade work in Flackley Ash
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flackley Ash use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
