Landlords, agents and businesses in Wemyss Bay
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Common questions in Wemyss Bay
Are there extra charges for Wemyss Bay?

What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Inverclyde?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Different materials, different repairs
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
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
What we’re called out for in Wemyss Bay

Questions to ask before booking
