Common questions in Duns
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How we handle sink repair in Duns
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Do you need sink repair in Duns?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Duns
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Duns as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
