Sink repair for Cromarty homes

Sink repair in Cromarty, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with an antique basin with chips and crazing in the glaze, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Cromarty: your questions answered

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you cover the entire of Highland?

The whole UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you cover Cromarty?

We do. We send a technician to Cromarty for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

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.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What sink repair costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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