Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arrochar as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Arrochar. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Arrochar
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover Arrochar?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Arrochar. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
