Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we handle sink repair in West Ashling

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

West Ashling: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repair or replace in West Ashling?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What a repair cannot fix

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around West Ashling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
