How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Grange of Lindores: your questions answered

Will you travel to Grange of Lindores?

Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Grange of Lindores?

Typically: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we will advise.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What affects the price in Grange of Lindores

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up. In a village or hamlet like Grange of Lindores, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the sink repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
