DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Forres. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Forres questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
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 I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you cover the entire of Moray?
We work UK-wide, so Forres is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
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.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
