Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about sink repair in Caeathro

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you work in Caeathro?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Caeathro for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Caeathro. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we’re called out for in Caeathro

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
