Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ardfern, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
If you are in Ardfern and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Common problems we fix in Ardfern
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
