Sink repair in Cannich

Sink repair in Cannich, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common problems we fix in Cannich

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Cannich questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
