What affects the price in Galashiels
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Do you need sink repair in Galashiels?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Galashiels. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
