Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need sink repair in Painters Ash?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for these signs:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Painters Ash questions

Do you cover Painters Ash?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Painters Ash from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
