FAQs for Middlebie

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Choosing a repair company

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Middlebie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
