What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

How we handle sink repair in Corran

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Corran

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Corran

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Corran use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Corran, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need sink repair in Corran

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Look out for these signs:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An original basin worth saving

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about sink repair in Corran

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Corran?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Corran and the rest of Highland. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
