Trusted sink repair in Davidston

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Sink repair at your home in Davidston

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Advice

Aftercare tips

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

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Davidston questions

How do I get a price for sink repair in Davidston?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Davidston and the rest of Highland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
