Repair or replace: which is better?

Your questions about sink repair in Chevinside
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Chevinside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
