DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Castlebay questions
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Castlebay?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Castlebay. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
