Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlord and trade work in Cove Bay
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Cove Bay, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Cove Bay questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Aberdeen. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover Cove Bay?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cove Bay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
When to call us in Cove Bay
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
