DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ardbeg, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Ardbeg

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
