Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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 Braehoulland
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of the Shetland Islands?
All of the Shetland Islands, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Braehoulland?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
