Questions from Saughton
Do you work in Saughton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Saughton and the rest of Edinburgh. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
