Ceramic basin repaired, before and after

Repairs by material

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.

Composite and resin

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you cover the whole of Na h-Eileanan Siar?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
