Lochgelly questions
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Fife?
Everywhere in the UK, Lochgelly included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KY5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
