What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Lochluichart: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Lochluichart?

We do. We send a technician to Lochluichart for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • 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 hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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.

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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
