Need sink repair in Cunninghamhead?

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

About our sink repair in Cunninghamhead

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and chips around the rim, we can help, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we’re called out for in Cunninghamhead

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
