Landlord and trade work in Church Hill
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Church Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Church Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Church Hill
Are there extra charges for Church Hill?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
