Common questions in Kirkby-in-Ashfield
How do I get a price for sink repair in Kirkby-in-Ashfield?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Repair or replace in Kirkby-in-Ashfield?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage

What we do, step by step

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
