Your questions about sink repair in Auchinairn
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
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. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
