Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. For a rural address like Sgalpaigh, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What affects the price in Sgalpaigh
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sgalpaigh

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
