Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Sink repair in Bowmore, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

FAQs for Bowmore
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Where we work around Bowmore
Bowmore (Gaelic: Bogh Mòr) is about 38 miles north of Ballycastle, in Argyll and Bute. Book a date that suits you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Bowmore is one of 118 places in Argyll and Bute where we work. We work right across the region, from Bowmore to Glasgow (78 miles away).
Our visits in PA43 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Whether you live on High Street, Main Street and The Square or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. We also travel to Port Charlotte (4 miles west), Keills (8 miles north-east), Imeraval (9 miles south), Port Askaig (9 miles north-east) and Port Ellen (10 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Should you replace it?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Bowmore clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowmore use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
