DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Gowkhall: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Fife?
We cover the entire UK, including Gowkhall and the rest of Fife. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Gowkhall?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Gowkhall
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gowkhall. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Gowkhall get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When to call us in Gowkhall
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
