Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Sink repair at your home in Dunoon
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and fine cracks across the glaze.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunoon as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Dunoon
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
