Landlords, agents and businesses in Scone

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scone use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we handle sink repair in Scone

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can usually put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repairing versus replacing in Scone

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Scone

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you need sink repair in Scone?

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Scone

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
