What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Advice

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Buckhaven. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire basin

For a price in Buckhaven, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repair or replace in Buckhaven?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

10 questions to ask before you book

What your basin is made of matters

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

FAQs for Buckhaven

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Buckhaven is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you cover Buckhaven?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Buckhaven and the rest of Fife. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Buckhaven.

What happens after I send pictures?

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your KY8 postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
