West Kilbride: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we are called out for in West Kilbride
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently 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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
