What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Nine Ashes. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
