How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What else we do in Pitreavie
Pitreavie: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace: which is better?

What affects the price in Pitreavie
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Pitreavie, and we will reply with a fixed price.
