Landlords, agents and businesses in Balgowan

Letting agents often send us photos 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 regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common questions in Balgowan

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to Balgowan?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Balgowan. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Balgowan?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What happens on the day
