Repair or replace in Culgaith?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common questions in Culgaith
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
