Choosing a repair company

How we handle sink repair in Templand

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Templand. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Templand, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Templand questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Are there extra charges for Templand?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Templand included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work in Templand?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Templand and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
