What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about sink repair in Coaltown of Wemyss

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you cover the whole of Fife?

All of Fife, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coaltown of Wemyss as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
