Sink repair at your home in Ardvasar
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 on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ardvasar questions
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Are there extra charges for Ardvasar?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What we are called out for in Ardvasar
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

- Chips on a built-in basin

- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardvasar
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
