Common questions in Raginnis
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Raginnis
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What else we do in Raginnis
When to call us in Raginnis
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
