Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Sink repair in Carradale, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace in Carradale?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about sink repair in Carradale

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Carradale?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carradale use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
