FAQs for Kirkton of Auchterhouse

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

How much does sink repair cost in Kirkton of Auchterhouse?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DD3 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we’re called out for in Kirkton of Auchterhouse

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

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 usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What affects the price in Kirkton of Auchterhouse

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire basin

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DD3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirkton of Auchterhouse

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kirkton of Auchterhouse. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
