Sink repair at your home in Hill of Keir

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hill of Keir

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Hill of Keir

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hill of Keir. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Hill of Keir and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
