Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

FAQs for Bullwood
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Argyll and Bute.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you need sink repair in Bullwood?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PA23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
