Sink repair near Barrachnie

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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