Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Dobwalls, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
