FAQs for Ardlui

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Ardlui?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ardlui and the rest of West Dunbartonshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the whole of West Dunbartonshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Ardlui included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Ardlui?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Repair or replace in Ardlui?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When to call us in Ardlui

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
