Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Common problems we fix in Ardley

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Ardley: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work in Ardley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ardley and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
