Sink repair in Auchtertyre without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Auchtertyre, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Auchtertyre clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

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.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
