Sink repair in Dingwall

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

Ask for a price

Advice

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
