About our sink repair in Lochgilphead
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
