Sink repair in An t-Aodann Ban

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Sink repair at your home in An t-Aodann Ban

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in An t-Aodann Ban

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Questions from An t-Aodann Ban

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

Signs you need sink repair in An t-Aodann Ban

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
