What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

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.

Our hiring checklist

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.

Repair or replace in Lochgelly?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

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.
