- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Oakley
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you work in Oakley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Oakley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the whole of Fife?
We work UK-wide, so Oakley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Landlord and trade work in Oakley
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
