Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Stirling and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Doune. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Doune. The price comes down to:

- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
