Questions from Kippen
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Stirling, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Other services in Kippen
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
If you are in Kippen and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Kippen
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
