Landlord and trade work in Mill of Mains
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mill of Mains as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Mill of Mains
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Mill of Mains
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
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.
What affects the price in Mill of Mains
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
