Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Sanquhar, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sanquhar as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Sanquhar?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Sanquhar. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sanquhar, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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