A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gretna. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gretna, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Gretna, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Different materials, different repairs
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. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Questions from Gretna
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Gretna included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
