Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common questions in Aird Tong
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Aird Tong?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What affects the price in Aird Tong
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Aird Tong. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Aird Tong, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairing versus replacing in Aird Tong
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One price list for the whole UK
