DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Airton
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Airton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Airton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Your questions about sink repair in Airton
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Airton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Airton
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.
Common reasons people in Airton contact us are:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
