How we handle sink repair in Branchton
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t 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.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Branchton
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Inverclyde.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What affects the price in Branchton
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Branchton
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
