Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lochranza. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lochranza, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Lochranza
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
