Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Addiebrownhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Addiebrownhill?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to compare quotes

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • 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, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Addiebrownhill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
