Leachkin: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
We cover the entire UK, including Leachkin and the rest of Highland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Leachkin?
We do. We send a technician to Leachkin for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Leachkin
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
What affects the price in Leachkin
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Leachkin. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
