Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Diuranais
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Diuranais
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need sink repair in Diuranais

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
