Trusted sink repair in Burghead

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Burghead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Burghead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Burghead

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Burghead get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Burghead

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What does sink repair cost?

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

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What we’re called out for in Burghead

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Look out for these signs:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crazed, tired basin

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
