Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bankglen as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Ayrshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
