Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

Landlords, agents and businesses in Auldhouse

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

How to look after the repair

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

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

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Auldhouse: your questions answered

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it messy?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our full price list.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Auldhouse, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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