How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Blackwaterfoot

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover the entire of North Ayrshire?

Across the UK, so Blackwaterfoot is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When to call us in Blackwaterfoot

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackwaterfoot

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackwaterfoot use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
