What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common questions in Dumbarton
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dumbarton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G82 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Dumbarton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
