What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Garioch

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Garioch

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
