DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • 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.

Repair or replace in Cultercullen?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
