The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dufftown

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What we’re called out for in Dufftown

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Most clients in Dufftown get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Dufftown

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Dufftown?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Dufftown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
