Tinwald: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tinwald
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
