Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.

How the visit works

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Whitecraig, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Whitecraig and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What do you need from me?
