Your questions about sink repair in Balmullo

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Balmullo?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balmullo as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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