Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Greenock

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Greenock. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
