Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace in Ballachulish?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ballachulish. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Ballachulish questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How much does sink repair cost in Ballachulish?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PH49 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What else we do in Ballachulish
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we are called out for in Ballachulish
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 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 won’t last.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ballachulish as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
