Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochore
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochore use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Lochore
Do you cover the entire of Fife?
Everywhere in the UK, Lochore included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
