I rent my home. Can I book you?

Common problems we fix in Milton of Buchanan
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Stirling and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
