DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What’s near Tarbert
We visit homes around Free Presbyterian Church. For a walk, there is Loch Laxdale and Ben Luskentyre.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
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.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Questions from Tarbert
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tarbert, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
