DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we handle sink repair in Claddach Kyles
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Claddach Kyles

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Claddach Kyles
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Claddach Kyles. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
