Questions from Ardeer
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Ardeer. Prices do not change with location.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ardeer. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KA20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
