What affects the price in Evanton
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Evanton. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Evanton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in Evanton?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
