When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Kingholm Quay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Kingholm Quay 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.
