Ardentinny: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardentinny use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
