What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Inverkeilor
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Angus and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Inverkeilor questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work in Inverkeilor?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Inverkeilor from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
