Poolewe: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Poolewe.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you come to Poolewe?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Poolewe. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

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

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Poolewe

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Our hiring checklist

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
