Sink repair near Currie

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Currie. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about sink repair in Currie

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What we are called out for in Currie

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
