Long Ashes: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Long Ashes?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BD23 postcode.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Long Ashes
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Do you need sink repair in Long Ashes?
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
Repairing versus replacing in Long Ashes
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
