Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we’re called out for in Carloway
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carloway
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Carloway, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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 price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Carloway
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Carloway?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carloway for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
