Questions from Hill of Beath

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover Hill of Beath?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Hill of Beath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not overtighten taps

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing.

What we’re called out for in Hill of Beath

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
