DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What affects the price in Pitscottie

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Pitscottie. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Pitscottie

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Fife.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How much does sink repair cost in Pitscottie?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pitscottie

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
