Common questions in Whitfield
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dundee and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
