How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Hollybush
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the entire of South Ayrshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Hollybush included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
