What a repair can’t fix

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Lochboisdale
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lochboisdale. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Lochboisdale
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Lochboisdale
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lochboisdale. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
