Your questions about sink repair in Dreghorn
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Dreghorn?
Normally: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send pictures and we will advise.
Can you fix basins at a school or business in Dreghorn?
Yes, and we are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Most clients in Dreghorn get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Around Dreghorn, arranging several trades for a replacement can take a while. A repair is one visit from us.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dreghorn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Visits around Dreghorn are typically simple: we park, protect the room and get started, after agreeing the plan with you.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
