Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Auchencairn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

FAQs for Auchencairn
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you work in Auchencairn?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Auchencairn and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
