When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common questions in Twynholm
Do you come to Twynholm?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Twynholm from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Twynholm. Prices do not change with location.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we are called out for in Twynholm
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

- Chips from dropped toiletries

What else we do in Twynholm
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Twynholm
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
