Sink repair near Dalmore

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Most clients in Dalmore get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Sink repair at your home in Dalmore

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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

What affects the price in Dalmore

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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 price the job without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Dalmore: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work in Dalmore?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dalmore. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dalmore

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

For anyone letting property in or around Dalmore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our full price list.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we work on in Dalmore
