How we handle sink repair in Kilmun
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off 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.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Other services in Kilmun
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kilmun. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Kilmun: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Kilmun is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover Kilmun?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kilmun and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
