What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dalbeattie. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Sink repair in Dalbeattie without replacing anything

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. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and an antique basin with chips.

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

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dalbeattie

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Dalbeattie

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. 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. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
