- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How we handle sink repair in Ardington
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Landlord and trade work in Ardington
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Your questions about sink repair in Ardington
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Ardington?
We do. We send a technician to Ardington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Ardington
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need sink repair in Ardington?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
