Landlord and trade work in Tolvaddon
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Tolvaddon
When to call us in Tolvaddon
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common questions in Tolvaddon
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Tolvaddon?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
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 repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
