Sink repair in Carluke

Sink repair in Carluke, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Carluke questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Common problems we fix in Carluke

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

  • Cracks starting at the waste

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carluke as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Carluke?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we price sink repair

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
