Landlords, agents and businesses in Townhill
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Sink repair in Townhill without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Do you need sink repair in Townhill?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A fixed quote before booking
- One-year guarantee on every repair
Take a look at our pricing.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Townhill
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the whole of Fife?
Everywhere in the UK, Townhill included. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
