How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Blythswood Hill

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Blythswood Hill

Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?

We work UK-wide, so Blythswood Hill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Blythswood Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Blythswood Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
