What else we do in Fairmilehead
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairmilehead
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairmilehead as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fairmilehead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Get a quote
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Fairmilehead

Repairing versus replacing in Fairmilehead
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
