Sink repair at your home in Black Crofts
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Common questions in Black Crofts
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Black Crofts?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Black Crofts and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does sink repair cost in Black Crofts?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlord and trade work in Black Crofts
If you manage property in Black Crofts, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
