Repairing versus replacing in Annan

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Sink repair at your home in Annan

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Annan: your questions answered

Do you cover Annan?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Annan and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Signs you need sink repair in Annan

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Look out for these signs:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Annan and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
