Sink Repair in West Lothian

Sink repair at your home in West Lothian

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and a period basin that needs restoring, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used 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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What affects the price in West Lothian

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in West Lothian

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the entire of West Lothian?

Across the UK, and that includes West Lothian. Prices don’t change with location.
