Sink repair in Marybank without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Marybank
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Landlord and trade work in Marybank
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Na h-Eileanan Siar and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
For a price in Marybank, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
