Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Ceann Loch Gilb get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Ceann Loch Gilb, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
