Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Dunvegan
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunvegan
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
