Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price sink repair

- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gatehouse of Fleet. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs

Common questions in Gatehouse of Fleet
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Gatehouse of Fleet. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
