About our sink repair in Dairsie

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Dairsie

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, 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

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KY15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
