Tamfourhill questions
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Tamfourhill and the rest of Falkirk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Tamfourhill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tamfourhill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlord and trade work in Tamfourhill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Falkirk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
