Questions from Kinfauns
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work in Kinfauns?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kinfauns from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the whole of Perth and Kinross?
The whole UK, including all of Perth and Kinross. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PH2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Other services in Kinfauns
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kinfauns
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.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Kinfauns
- Belfast and butler sinks

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When to call us in Kinfauns
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
