Trusted sink repair in Arinagour

Sink repair at your home in Arinagour

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. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Arinagour questions

Is it messy?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you work in Arinagour?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Arinagour and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What affects the price in Arinagour

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  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. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

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

  • Through cracks that let water out
