Lindores questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Do you need sink repair in Lindores?
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
