Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common problems we fix in Lochmaben

FAQs for Lochmaben
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Lochmaben?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochmaben as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Repairing versus replacing in Lochmaben
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Lochmaben
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lochmaben. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lochmaben, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
