What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Throsk
If you manage property in Throsk, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in Throsk
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
Do you work in Throsk?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Throsk and the rest of Stirling. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Signs you need sink repair in Throsk
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Throsk
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
