About our sink repair in Canonbie

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Canonbie: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Are there extra charges for Canonbie?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover Canonbie?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Canonbie and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will you remove the sink?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

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

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
We polish it into the surrounding surface.
Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

Where the damage is and how we get to it
What kind of damage it is
The material
How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
