Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Broughty Ferry: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
