Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often 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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

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

What we work on

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

Questions from Innis nan Lìon

Do you come out to small places like Innis nan Lìon?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

My house in Innis nan Lìon is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we’ll advise.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common problems we fix in Innis nan Lìon

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

In the older streets of Innis nan Lìon, around landmarks like United Free Church, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there. Somewhere like Innis nan Lìon needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. In an older home in a village like Innis nan Lìon, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Innis nan Lìon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
