Sink Repair in Highland

Sink repair across Highland: what to expect

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Prices in Highland

Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What’s near Inverness

In Inverness, that means homes near Inverness, Cavell Gardens and Maple Court Hotel and the streets around them. Inverness’s nearest station is Inverness station, roughly 0.7 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Inverness Castle (0.5 miles north) and Inverness Museum and Art Gallery (0.5 miles north). Open spaces near Inverness include Tomnahurich.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Repair or replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that.

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How the damage happens

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Highland. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Highland questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Highland.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
