Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Sink repair in Collieston, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and a period basin that needs restoring.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Collieston

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Collieston is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
