Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

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.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inveraray use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
