DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alloway. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Alloway and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Alloway questions

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you work in Alloway?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Alloway from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Alloway is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alloway

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Ayrshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
