Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Colliston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
FAQs for Colliston
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to Colliston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Colliston and the rest of Angus. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
