Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Srath Carran questions
Do you work in Srath Carran?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Srath Carran and the rest of Highland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Landlord and trade work in Srath Carran
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Srath Carran
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Srath Carran

What affects the price in Srath Carran
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
